Workers renovating a 94-year-old house in Canton, Ohio, refused to enter because of strange and scary noises – until the owners hired a ghostbuster to purge the spirits.

An 81-year-old man using his electric wheelchair took a wrong turn and ended up veering onto a three-lane highway in Norway, with cars whizzing by at 75 mph.

Cops in Oslo who pulled the wheelchair over said the man seemed unfazed.

On a sadder note involving the elderly, a California woman, left paralyzed by a stroke in her home for a week, was chewed on by her seven starving cats, authorities say.

The felines apparently also have nibbled on 86-year-old Mae Lowrie’s sick terrier, who had to be put to sleep after being found near death in the Panorama City apartment.

Lowrie is now recovering in the hospital. As for the cats, “They’re not aggressive or anything like that, so they are adoptable,” said Jackie David, an animal-services spokeswoman.
